Anyone own one? I did 8 years ago but I think we got rid of it when we moved. It was a cheap one that sucked and took FOREVER to do anything. I want to look into a nicer one. Anyone have one? Looking at Excalibur brand and Norco. You know I am a kitchen gadget junkie. We need a bigger kitchen :-[
i got one free from my work rewards points. haven't used it yet but hoping it works well. they're usually decent brands.

I am staying away from dried fruit, since it's high in sugar and calories.
do you eat fresh fruit?

It would be for carrying along for running as I am finding i can only really tolerate fruit while running.
I do not have room in my kitchen for gadgets so I make jerky in my oven and it works fine. I am sure you could do fruit or wraps also.

Sure but I doubt fruit would take that long.
Apple chips only take 2

I am not sure how low my oven goes, but I think not under 200. Will go investigate.
